I’m really looking forward to this.

i fell out of love with club football several years ago and I’m really looking forward to a tournament I can get into.

I don’t have much hope for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 but we do tend to get one unexpectedly good result at least (and then one absolute howler!) so I’m looking forward to seeing where that will be. Would be an epic start if it was against Germany in the opener.

I still remember when we played Brazil in the opener of France 98 - never has a penalty been celebrated so hard 😂

I've joined the fantasy league, need to work a bit on my team.
Belgium and Albania is work sweepstake, have a feeling manager with England and Germany might have fixed it!

That is a shocking read @MustTryHarderAndHarder you do wonder how they have been allowed to compete in the competition.

Isn't it. What do they have to do to be banned? I am so concerned that they are going to abuse our black players.

I know @MustTryHarderAndHarder & @CumbrianExile: England's first match too 😬.

Does anyone have party food when England are playing? We usually do. My wall chart is up and my Euros bunting is in the garden. Can’t wait ⚽️

I like this

All 26 #ENG players given these cards celebrating their grass-roots clubs, the vital launching pad of so many great careers. Grass-roots clubs matter, the pyramid matters. Elite clubs must never forget this. It’s where their players start out.

On our works euro competition we pay £10 and for that you start with £250 kitty. and we bet 8 games, minimum bet £20. You must choose the winner, or a draw. I've gone £30 on Spain. I did wonder if Spain v Croatia would be a draw, I think it'll be a tight game, but I decided to go for Spain in the end.

JasonTindallsTan · 12/06/2024 13:26

Our work have done a good one, all the teams listed in the comp. You assign each team a number 1-26. Submit the list to the organiser and For each win the team gets they score the corresponding number of points. Eg if you assigned England no 26 then if they win they’ll get 26 points or 13 points for a draw. Trick is to assign the higher numbers to the teams you think will go furthest. Highest score at the end wins.

Love that advert. Absolutely genius.
Excited for tomorrow night - done my ladbrokes bets. Let wall to wall football commence.
Very bad planning but I'm at Wembley Sunday evening - really hoping they have the game on somewhere....

Not sure about a pint of Irn Bru...

I have wine and chocolate- hoping for a good performance from Scotland tonight even if they don't get a result.
Feeling nervous about the England match already after reading about possible fan trouble.

EveryOtherNameTaken · 14/06/2024 19:04

I got Romania in my sweepstake 😏

DuncinToffee · 14/06/2024 19:09

We've got snacks and German beer at the ready

Pizza & cider here.
Hoping for at least a draw - my dad's Scottish and I've been to a few away games with the Tartan Army. So much fun!
Not hugely hopeful though....

Checking in time for kick off. Looking forward to a summer of sport.
